A Florida Highway Patrol trooper spotted Sean Booth Chidester, 35, of Marathon, about 7 p.m. Tuesday in a vehicle on U.S. 1 near 126th Street in Marathon.

The trooper stopped the vehicle and detained Chidester via the warrant regarding the animal cruelty case stated below. The trooper notified the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

Chidester was transferred to MCSO custody without incident.

Chidester was taken to jail.

Man sought in animal cruelty case

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in finding a man accused of picking up a small dog over his head and slamming it into the ground, breaking the dog’s pelvis.

Sheriff’s Office deputies say Sean Booth Chidester, 35, of Marathon, is a convicted felon who may be armed and dangerous. The Sheriff’s Office has reason to believe Chidester may have an illegally-owned handgun. Always Call 911 instead of approaching a suspect in any criminal case.

Deputies were called to a veterinary hospital at 9:15 a.m. where a woman was getting her miniature pinscher, “Penny,” checked for injuries. The woman told staff the dog was unable to stand on its hind legs and was shaking a lot. Deputies met with the woman who stated she got into an altercation the previous night with Chidester. That altercation remains under investigation.

The woman went on to say that Chidester picked up Penny above his head with arms fully extended and slammed the dog to the ground from the top of a set of stairs. The woman estimated the dog fell about 10 feet in total.

X-rays of the dog were taken. The veterinarian stated there were multiple fractures of the dog’s pelvis. The vet added the dog may have suffered long-term nerve damage. The vet added the dog may be unable to urinate on its own and may require a catheter.

Chidester may be in the Marathon area. He may be riding a 2006, orange and blue Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a 6681RU tag. He may be driving a black, 1996 Chevrolet Jimmy sport-utility vehicle with the words, “Outlaw Diesel” across the top windshield with a 3543UW tag.

Chidester has an arrest history spanning more than 15 years in three states, including Monroe County, Florida. His last arrest in Monroe County came in 2016 when he was charged with aggravated battery in which he knew or should have known the victim was pregnant.

Artificial intelligence, which is bringing us everything from self-driving cars to personalized ads on the web, is also invading the world of medicine. In radiology, this technology is increasingly helping doctors in their jobs. A computer program that assists doctors in diagnosing strokes garnered approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this year. Another that helps doctors diagnose broken wrists in X-ray images won FDA approval on May 24. One particularly intriguing line of research seeks to train computers to diagnose one of the deadliest of all malignancies, pancreatic cancer, when the disease is still readily treatable. That's the vision of Dr. Elliot Fishman , a professor of radiology at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore. Artificial intelligence and radiology seem like a natural match, since so much of the task of reading images involves pattern recognition. It's a dream that's been decades in the making, Fishman says. "When I started in radiology, they said

One in five working coal miners in central Appalachia who have worked at least 25 years now suffer from the coal miners' disease black lung . That's the finding from the latest study tracking an epidemic of the incurable and fatal sickness. It's the highest rate in a quarter century and indicates that the disease continues to afflict more miners in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. "We haven't seen this rate of black lung since before the early '90s," says Cara Halldin, an epidemiologist at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and one of the authors of the study. Black lung results from the inhalation of coal and silica dust during coal mining. Lung tissue is scarred by the dust, which diminishes the ability to breathe. The study's researchers reviewed nearly fifty years of coal miner X-rays taken as part of a national NIOSH effort to identify disease among working coal miners. They compared the last five years of X-rays with those taken earlier. In

A measure signed into law in Kentucky this past week would prevent federally-certified radiologists from judging X-rays in state black lung compensation claims, leaving diagnoses of the disease mostly to physicians who typically work for coal companies. The new law requires that only pulmonologists — doctors who specialize in the lungs and respiratory system — assess diagnostic black lung X-rays when state black lung claims are filed. Up until now, radiologists, who work in evaluating all types of X-rays and other diagnostic images, had been allowed to diagnose the disease as well. Just six pulmonologists in Kentucky have the federal certification to read black lung X-rays and four of them routinely are hired by coal companies or their insurers, according to an NPR review of federal black lung cases. The two remaining pulmonologists have generally assessed X-rays on behalf of coal miners but one is semi-retired and his federal certification expires June 1. Among the radiologists

During my NYSC camp in Olokuma Opokuma Kayama, Bayelsa State in 2013, the camp commandant told those of us complaining about how they can not go across water, that if they reach their PPA and fail to find an Igbo man there, they should report back immediately to him for onward and immediate reposting. Low and behold, even those that went deeper into the sea and inside the creeks never returned for reposting. An evidence they all met at least one Igbo man in their various places of primary assignment.

This is to tell you how far an Igbo man has traveled and acclimatized with every part of the country called Nigeria. Some have argued that Igbo man is the only 'True Nigerian', contrary to what many are thinking today. Igbo man is living the true creed of nationhood in a country most of us call Nigeria. It is only an Igbo man that can travel from home to a faraway place, an unknown place, establish and make it another home. He builds houses and makes it his own home. Unlike an Hausa man who will live inside their mosque while changing millions of Dollars for a whooping 30 years in one "ama awusa" somewhere in Owerri without building one single house or renting one. It is not even news that the richest man in Northern Nigeria and probably the richest in Nigeria, Aliko Dangote does not have even a single of his numerous companies situated in Ala Igbo. The only things he can lay claim to are his numerous Trailers crisscrossing the rough and bumpy Eastern Nigeria roads distributing his goods and products.

Same thing can be said about a Yoruba man. You hardly see a Yoruba man build outside his Yoruba state. For many years now powerful but mischievous Yoruba Nigeria gutter media have been telling whoever that cared to listen that the reason they don't build in Eastern Nigeria is because Ndi Igbo does not sell lands to them. A lie that have been long exposed, thanks to social media. One may want to ask a Yoruba man this questions. If Igbo man refuses to sell his land, what of the lands belonging to Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio or Oron? Did they also refused selling to you like their Igbo brothers? Did Northerners also refused to sell lands to Yoruba people when they were selling to Ndi Igbo in their enclave? Why is it that in almost all the Northern States there is an Igbo settlement with lands bought and houses built by Ndi Igbo. There are Markets, Hospitals, Schools and even Hotels owned exclusively by Ndi Igbo. That same Ndi Igbo have big stake in Lagos. Same Ndi Igbo whose properties were declared abandoned properties have within the space of 50years bought back all those properties, that was when all the monies they had in Nigeria banks prior to the war was stolen by the Nigerian government.

Ndi Igbo also found themselves scattered around the world. It is also said that there is no country in the world you can not find an Igbo man. Don't take my word for it, just make your own research and I stand to be corrected. Ndi Igbo have assets more outside Igbo land than they can boast of within their own territory. This has turned into a bitter curse to Ndi Igbo rather than becoming a blessing and it made them vulnerable for a long time but not anymore because freedom has come. This is because an Igbo man have refused to bring his exploits back home. They have this believe that their business cannot flourish well if they bring it home. These are genuine concerns. A lot of things discourages an Igbo man from establishing his business at home. An Igbo man will rather start a business in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja or Jos than bring it down home to Onitsha, Aba, Owerri or Port Harcourt.

Some Reasons Why Ndi Igbo Finds It Hard To Think Home

Here I am going to point out some of the things that hinder Ndi Igbo from bringing their businesses home. I will try to make it brief.

1. Feeling of Insecurity - An Igbo man feels that he is a target in Nigeria. He feels that his land is under siege and his name something Nigeria establishment always don't want to hear. In Igbo land, you hardly cross one kilometer without meeting battle ready police or military checkpoints with officials that seemed to have been detailed to make life difficult for Ndi Igbo living and doing businesses in Igbo land. They pay through their noses in there own land through military and police extortion. Something that is not good for business. Business men in Igbo land will be made to spend thousands of Naira before their goods can finally rest either in Main-market Onitsha or Ariria Aba. Customs, Army, Immigration are always there to extort money and intimidate Igbo businessmen.

2. Nearness To Seaports - Nigerian Government for the past 50years seemed to have reached a consensus to deny Ndi Igbo sea ports. There is no river that made history in Nigeria more than River Niger. The reason Mongo Park took the pains to discover an already discovered river by our ancestors, was to open up trade not just in Nigeria but entire West Africa. This shows that if properly harnessed, River Niger would have increased trade in West Africa. But unfortunately opening up River Niger will benefit a people Nigeria has agreed to perpetually keep down and subjugate. That is why they extended same treatment to neighboring ports like Warri, Akwaibom and Calabar Ports. Even Port Harcourt sea port is not functional, that is when Lagos state alone sits on three sea ports, with Kano and Kaduna enjoying land dry ports.The difficulty of bringing down goods from Lagos down to Onitsha or Aba has forced many Ndi Igbo to settle in Lagos or any other Northern States.

3. Unavailability Of International Airport - It is worthy to note here that for the first time after the war in 1970, it was just four years ago, during Goodluck Jonathan's era that the first International flight took off from Eastern Nigeria. That was a region that maintained the busiest airport in the whole world in 1967/70 under severe bombardment from Nigeria and their British government supporters. Ndi Igbo travel miles on roads before they can travel out of Nigeria via Lagos, Abuja or Kaduna. The so called Enugu International Airports is still not functional due to some of the reasons I listed above.

Struggling For Survival

In all these things the Igbo has been struggling to survive. Leading in this struggle for survival is the Nnewi man. The symbol of think home mentality. Right from the start, Nnewi man have armed himself with the think home mentality. One would have wondered where the Igbo man would have been without the wisdom and ingenuity of an Nnewi man. Nnewi man here also represents all other Ndi Igbo that are bringing their goods home.Currently, the highest cluster of indigenous companies in Africa are in Nnewi. The 'Onye aghana nwanne ya' spirit of the Igbo is strong in the mind of an Nnewi man. Innoson motors and others still stand tall in Nnewi.All Ndi Igbo should as a matter of fact borrow this good side of Nnewi people and start thinking home. It's a call for all Ndi Igbo to start establishing their business empires in Igbo land. Ndi Igbo should stop thinking that they need Nigerian market more for then to sell. In actual sense it is Nigeria that needs an Igbo man. Ndi Igbo must start targeting the wilder African markets. That's a sure way to go.

Things To Avoid

Ndi Igbo should avoid the superiority mentality among themselves. A man from Imo should not see himself as more superior Igbo than another from Anambra and Anambra man should not look down on an Ebonyi or Abia man. It is only an ignorant man that holds strongly to this Nigeria divide and rule mechanism called state creation. Sadly many don't know the history of state creation. Gowon balkanized the regions into 12 states as to sow seeds of discord, to make sure Biafrans of 1966 lose their unity. All Ndi Igbo before ever the states were created were all in the Eastern region. Before the name Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo came into existence we were all Ndi Igbo. That some Ndi Igbo were carved into what is today called South South doesn't make them less an Igbo.

Finally, Ndi Igbo should start thinking of what to do to make Ala Igbo greater. This is the time for the elites, the governors and Ndi Eze to drop their slave mentality and work towards a greater Igbo nation. They should understand that the era of what Abuja want has gone. Ndi Igbo have successfully dethroned the powers of the caliphate and the people have taken over power. Governors should start aligning with their people in sincerity. They should start creating an enabling environment for the industrialization of Ala Igbo. They should understand their youths, bond more with them and not sell them out to the caliphate for slaughter like it happened in Onitsha, Nkpor, Aba and Umuahia. They should rather connect Ala Igbo with railways than open her up for cattle colonies.

One of the Real Time Abductees I have been writing about requested I take some time to write about the life that follows a person who has without choice endured a life time of lost time events resulting in an aftermath of life changes an abductee is forced to deal with without choice .

I think a good place to begin is with the understanding that no one I have ever interviewed about lost time events or abduction have wanted or gone about any action that would bring them in to the situation of being taken. The people I have interviewed have all been taken or more precisely kidnapped against their will by unknowns or other life forms while the abductee was busy going about the normal routines of their day to day lives. Usually they would be returned hours later with little or no memory of where they had been taken or what had been done to them. Many times they would be returned to places they have never been before and have no idea where they were.

I find the fact the people are taken without permission and the lack of concern by society concerning this act of kidnapping a sad fact concerning how the human community behaves towards criminal acts on fellow humans. After enduring a harsh abduction abductees are treated with a dismissive hostility delivering another abusive blow by their fellow humans. This is a strong statement on how ignorant we are about things we do not understand.

If something is unknown in our society it is taboo. If in the past we always went about change or unknowns in this manner we would all still be sitting in a cave. The fact we consider abduction and unknown crafts in this manner is not a plus for our species. The fact is as a group we abuse those who are suffering from these unwilling kidnappings with such malice is truly a fact we all need to think about.

The first thing the people who have lived abduction experiences want to tell society is that they are making a huge mistake in forsaking the people who are enduring these acts of strange abduction by leaving the door fully open for the beings taking innocent people to continue doing it. If we took an investigative approach to these events we may eventually be able to find out who is taking our fellow humans and why. Most of all we would be able to stop it which would be best for all concerned. After all you must understand it is only time before you or someone close to you is the next to find they are the ones looking in to the cold dead eyes of those who take and abuse us at will. The longer it goes on without regard for those it is happening to and without any effort by the human race to stop it- the more people it will be taken.

I have written in length about my interviews with a group of people I call the Real Time Abductees. I call them this as they are all everyday people who while going about the everyday business of their normal life routine suddenly had their world interrupted by being taken against their will , experiencing hours of lost time before being returned like a bag of old trash. Many times they would find they would awaken sick, alone and miles away from where they were when their ordeal started. These events are extremely frightening for the people who are forced to deal with them. The first thing most abductees will tell you is that the fear that over takes them when they realize they are going to be taken is like no other fear they have known. One abductee told me she was sure her heart was going to stop beating as the fear that gripped her was unlike anything she ever encountered before. This fear is something that those who are taken deal with each time they are taken.

The next thing that society needs to understand is how these incidents affect the people who have been taken.

All the Real Time Abductees I have interviewed suffer from physical problems that occurred after years of repeated abductions. The physical harm is a bit different for each person but each one of them suffers from some kind of lasting long term harm caused by what takes place during their abductions.

I decided the best way to present the physical aftermath of abduction would be to describe the lifelong physical effects of one abductee starting when she was a child.

This abductee can remember strange events happening in her life beginning at about age 4. She started feeling the effect of her odd happenings at age 10 when she started a lifelong agony of severe pain in her legs. She would cry at night from the stabbing pain that filled her legs complaining to her parents about the pain but sadly her family simply ignored it and gave her an aspirin, soaked her in a hot bath and sent her to bed. This went on until she went through puberty. At that point her abductions increased and so did the physical aftermath,

As a young woman her incidents of being taken increased as did her physical reaction to them. She would become ill with what appeared to be a bad stomach flu that included throwing up, fever and severe body aches and an odd rash for about a week after each event. As she entered adulthood she would develop rashes all the time that would cover her legs and chest that would last anywhere from a few weeks up to a few months. The abductee would go to the doctor but would never talk about her experiences with lost time or strange crafts as she feared they would think she was insane and hospitalize her. Her family knew she was enduring these awful events as they were witness to a few of her abductions and did not know where to go for help. Earlier in her life they did try to go to the authorities for help but were ridiculed and chastised that they quickly learned they were on their own and their only choice was to try to protect her to the best of their ability. The protection was from not only the invaders who were taking her but those who would abuse her a second time when they reported the incidents.

As she aged the abductee realized that her ability to learn new things increased at an incredible speed. She would read a book a day in order to obtain the information she needed to become successful in her career. She went to college late in life graduating in half the time it normally takes to obtain a four year degree. She found her work comforting and threw herself in to it becoming successful quickly. She used her success to build a life that protected her from the horror of abductions and was able to slow the events until she finally stopped them.

Unfortunately for the abductee the damage to her body had already been done. She suffered enormous bone and joint pain to the point she was not able to walk and now needed to spend many days in a wheel chair. Once again she reached out for help to the medical community to see if they could provide a solution to her on going bone pain. The doctors did a full examination of the abductee returning with a list of bizarre findings they could not explain. They found that her liver, pancreas and kidneys were not functioning correctly. She had strange rashes they could not explain or come up with a cure for all over her body. She could not tolerate the sun which developed over her life time. Once the abductee was once a beach lover who spent hours swimming and playing on the sand. Now she could not stand but a few minutes outside. The X-rays showed that her bones in her joints were in perfect shape. However her bones did have a severe arthritis type of disintegration with abnormal growths which had developed in the middle of her bones nowhere near the joint areas.. The doctors had not seen this before and could not explain it. She could not tolerate eating a great many foods and her diet was becoming more confined to only a few selections as she aged. Her life was painful and difficult and there was no answer or help at all for her.

The abductee had an accident once when she was younger. Her leg bone was involved and the doctors told her that they were shocked to find her bones were purple in color unlike any others they had come across. During her unusual life the abductee continued to become stranger in her views about the world and her views of who took her and why. She would constantly warn people about the dangers of our new technology as she firmly believes it is a plot of those who visit this planet to control the population. She thinks society is being brain washed and controlled by the very gadgets we now have become addicted to. She feels that the more time you spend with your cell phone or hand held computers and games the more likely you are of being controlled by those who can easily use out technology to influence and control you without ever needing to go near you. She has been warning me for years to write about this subject. I found a great deal of negative feedback when I tried to approach this subject in the past however I promised I would try to convey it again in this article. It is up to the reader to consider her warnings or simply brush them off and throw caution to the wind..

She strongly suggests you all turn off your connection to these dangerous gadgets and learn to reach out with your humanity to mankind on a one on one basis before you all become robotic type beings controlled by creatures you should not trust. She believes it is only a matter of time before you all lose your ability to have human relationships and communication. Stop tweeting and texting and emailing and start spending real time with real people face to face using your own mind to develop your own ideas and thinking before it is all taken away from you as you sink in to the world of controlled machines following the will of what is being downloaded in to your heads by your gadgets and computer driven life style. Stop being a robot and start fighting to save your humanity.

I tried to have this conversation with a few young people in my own life and was shocked at how aggressive and defensive they became when I suggested they need to stop their addiction to these new technologies. I could not get over how quickly they turned nasty and hostile towards me when I gave my view on their addiction and suggestion they spend more time face to face out in the world with real people and shut off their connection to what seems to be a dangerous grid. I realized the abductee was right and I now fear this new techie society is going to take us to a place we will not be able to return from. . I fear it and know in my heart she is right about it.

This abductee is fighting daily now to stay alive as her body continues to fail and fall apart around her. She is a very smart lady with different and clear thinking on many things we consider unknown but extremely reluctant to have anything to do with reaching out or commenting on them due to our handling of the subjects considered paranormal. She also laughs as the very meaning of the word paranormal is:” Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation” . Paranormal things are the subjects our science does not yet understand. It is what we call the subjects we are still completely ignorant about. They are also the subjects older and more advanced civilizations have conquered. I wonder what they think about how we stop our own kind from advancing by way of our Dark Age view of things we do not yet understand.

She is a senior citizen now and spends a great deal of what time she has left doing things she enjoys and with her family and those she loves. Sadly she also spends a great deal of time dealing with all the harsh health issues she was left with after a life time of abduction events. The abductee told me that a doctor who once helped her told her that her body seemed to be acting as if her adrenal system had been drained. She often wonders if that is exactly what they do to the people they kidnap all over the world. We may be a farm for substances they can no longer make or perhaps need for purposes we are not yet able to understand. She remains alone with only her family to deal with the aftermath of her physical problems and tries hard to be happy with what days are left in her life.

She told me she knows that as a society we are far from understanding the truth of what is out there. She told me she feels we are our own worst enemy when it comes to intelligent growth. She thinks we are far more backward then we should be and lacking in knowledge of math and science in a way that is sad and dangerous.

The abductee also told me she does not care any longer about trying to share her life experiences with others as she did try many times over her life only to be rejected or attacked again by her own kind for trying to educate them on what happens to all the millions of people all over the world who are taken. She told me she is going to her maker knowing the truth and really does not care if anyone else believes her. She knows the truth and does not feel it her job to convince you about any subject. She told me many will die without knowing the truth of their own reality and others, well, one day when they find they are all alone -they may find out by being the ones looking in to the eyes of something that will nearly frighten them to death. I can only agree with her words.

Left LA yesterday (or was it the day before - you cross the internation date-line on way back), and was not the most impressed about either UA (who I flew with) or the airport itself.

Arrived about 3 hour early, and went to self service check in - they are obviously saving money by automating as much as possible (yes cheaper flights are nice, but..). Check in started pretty ok, the machines were pretty easy to use, but then the process sloweded. Because of my nationality and destination, an 'agent' had to check the passport. After waiting a little while one of the people who where handling queries, luggage, etc. (est. 1 person per 10 machines, they were busy) came over and informed me that 'agent' would have to check passport (they were just normal mortals) and there was currently no agents around.... By the time 2 'agents' showed up about half a hour later, possible as much as half of the machines had people waiting..

After waiting about 40 minutes, an 'agent' looked at my passport, gave me a ticket and I headed off to passport check.. Only to discover that I had been given the wrong ticket, one for another person who's surname started with the same 3 characters.... Life.. Luckly it only took a couple of minutes to get a replacement ticket - jumped the queue and went straight to the 'agent' who had issued the original.

Went back to passport check/x-ray/etc. only to find a longer queue.. In LA, like some other places in the world, you have to take your shoes off so they can be x-rayed seperatly - and there's not much space to take them off, or put them back on again - everything is as cramped as possible. And, of course, the x-ray machine broke down just before I went through so we had to wait another 5 minutes while they got it rebooted (not sure of OS). Once through all of that, I discovered that all the delays were not really a problem, since there was very little to do while waiting for flight home - I guess I'm a bit to used to being in international airports which tend to have more shops and restuants as opposed to airports servicing mainly locals.

Ahhh well, it's just another 7 weeks, or so, until I fly again - it's Christmas time again

My name is Dr. Ian Rainey. I am looking to bring a great chiropractor into practice with me. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: * A great chiropractor with a passion for helping people * Someone who is dependable, hard-working and motivated * Someone looking to make an impact and great at communicating chiropractic and the benefits that it can offer to our community. * Ideally, I am looking for a chiropractor who enjoys providing wellness care. * A well-rounded, dynamic chiropractor who is confident in his/her adjusting skills. I am not technique specific (I use Activator, Thompson, Diversified). It would be best if you are proficient in those techniques. * I want you to be willing to work for a trial period of up 90 days. If you like it, and we are a good fit, you stay. Then I would like to have you on board for at least a year. If you decide you want to leave and start your own practice after that, I am ok with that. The decision is up to you. I have never hired an associate or Independent Contractor before. I have had many employees, prior to being a chiropractor, and they all went on to be successful. That's what I want to see you do. Whether you stay here in sunny Florida, or whether you have your heart set on another place, I want to see you become the success that you have always wanted to be. * A team player. I am more of leader by example. I'm not a dictator, and I'm not here to tell you how to be a chiropractor. I want you to be happy, and I want you to treat the patients the way the resignates with you. . WHAT I AM OFFERING YOU: * You will be an independent contractor. * You will be given a base to begin until you get up and running. I don't want you stressing about starting out. The amount I can pay you up front depends on your experience and potential. I want you to feel comfortable and have enough money to start off. * I will do all your marketing and get the patients through the door (I have started as many as 88 new patients in a month). You just need to come in, treat the patients and build your base of business. The more patients you can treat, the more successful you will be. Getting the patients in the door is not an issue for this office. I have marketing in place that will keep you busy as you are comfortable being. Note: I do not have x-ray in my office. I refer to a nearby imaging facility for x-rays, when necessary. * An opportunity to practice in paradise, just minutes from the beach, minutes from the airport and minutes from all the entertainment you could ask for. It has been my dream to move here and open up an office. Now that I have done that, I would like to bring another doc on board and share this great space and this great opportunity that I have. Please send me your resume/cv. I look forward to hearing from you.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate (i) how monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs who are discordant for body mass index (BMI) differ for objectively and subjectively measured physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max) and (ii) associations of PA and VO2 max with adiposity and measures of metabolic health, in individual twins and independent of genetic and shared environmental effects within twin pairs. We examined 27 BMI-discordant and 14 BMI-concordant MZ twin pairs. Fat and fat-free mass (ffm) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and VO2 max by spiroergometry. PA was measured objectively by accelerometers using ActiGraph GT1M for daytime activity and Actiwatch AW7 for 24 h/d. Self-reported PA was obtained through the Baecke and IPAQ long-form questionnaires. Objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA, min/d), steps/d, and VO2 max/kg were significantly lower, by 30%, 21%, and 14%, respectively, in the heavier compared with the leaner co-twins of the BMI-discordant twin pairs. There were no significant differences in self-reported PA or VO2 max/ffm. As expected, PA and VO2 max/ffm were similar in the BMI-concordant co-twins. Furthermore, the 24-h recording of activity suggested that the heavier co-twins had more restless sleep during the night, whereas the leaner co-twins were more active during the day. Within all twin pairs, higher MVPA and steps per day were associated with lower fat percentage and improved metabolic health measures. Objectively, but not subjectively measured PA is associated with lower fat percentage and better metabolic health, independent of genetic and shared environmental factors.

Automatic detection of defects in metal castings is a challenging task, owing
to the rare occurrence and variation in appearance of defects. However,
automatic defect detection systems can lead to significant increases in final
product quality. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown outstanding
performance in both image classification and localization tasks. In this work,
a system is proposed for the identification of casting defects in X-ray images,
based on the mask region-based CNN architecture. The proposed defect detection
system simultaneously performs defect detection and segmentation on input
images, making it suitable for a range of defect detection tasks. It is shown
that training the network to simultaneously perform defect detection and defect
instance segmentation, results in a higher defect detection accuracy than
training on defect detection alone. Transfer learning is leveraged to reduce
the training data demands and increase the prediction accuracy of the trained
model. More specifically, the model is first trained with two large
openly-available image datasets before fine-tuning on a relatively small metal
casting X-ray dataset. The accuracy of the trained model exceeds state-of-the
art performance on the GDXray Castings dataset and is fast enough to be used in
a production setting. The system also performs well on the GDXray Welds
dataset. A number of in-depth studies are conducted to explore how transfer
learning, multi-task learning, and multi-class learning influence the
performance of the trained system.

Ireland’s leading political party Fine Gael made promises to improve Ireland’s public health system in 2007. Today conditions in Ireland’s Emergency Departments are unacceptable and getting worse.

When it comes to broken political promises, there have not been many to rival the 2007 pledge by the Fine Gael party that they would tackle the scandal of patients lying on trolleys in Irish public hospitals.

Fine Gael have been in power for seven of the intervening 11 years and, if anything, the system is far more broken that it was back then.

Overall, the Irish Times reports today, (Wednesday, Aug 8, 2018), the number of people on waiting lists for various medical procedures has reached almost one million, according to Fianna Fail quoting government figures.

If you want to find out how broken Ireland’s public health care system is, all you have to do is join a family member on a harrowing visit to any Emergency Department in any of our main cities.

It is hard to know exactly when the unacceptable became the norm, but after witnessing what a 93-year old family member had to endure at first hand last week I am already in dread over what’s in store for our elderly and most vulnerable when the harsh winter conditions kick in.

It was truly dispiriting to see an elderly man who worked hard for 45 years being left to lie for 48 hours in a brightly lit corridor with not a hope of privacy or confidentiality.

This is high summer, and the Galway Races were in full swing last week, but it felt like a war zone to see the despair etched on the faces of the elderly and the injured as they were hauled in only to have to wait hour upon hour to be examined.

For me, the despair really hit home at around 3am. I had been by my relative’s side as he lay on a trolley since about 9pm, after a fall in his living room had led to him being rushed to University Hospital Galway (UHG) in an ambulance.

The emergency crew who arrived at the scene were superb. They transferred him to the hospital within minutes where, presumably, somebody must have decided that there was no immediate threat to his life.

Presumably… because it took 14 hours of lying in that lit up and very public corridor before he was thoroughly examined by a doctor.

It felt so important to have a family member by his side, to provide him with an occasional glass of water, to look out for him, or just to ask what the heck was going on in that overcrowded corridor.

All around me, other relatives were going through the same ordeal. We shared each other’s agonies and frustrations. I was left for three hours without a chair as I paced up and down, feeling like a burden on the nurses who seemed unable to cope with so many patients.

I counted 18 trolleys occupied by patients in the corridor at any one time. Those who made it into a cubicle, with the relative privacy of a curtain, were left to count their blessings as we watched the clock drift slowly into the early hours.

What is it about the Irish that makes us so compliant, so unwilling to complain? We can be great at sharing our troubles and showing solidarity with each other, but so bad at standing up for our rights when it’s clear that things are wrong.

It took me until 2.50am to pluck up the courage to ask a nurse what was happening. I had already decided to call in sick for work, but I wanted to know if he would be seen by a doctor at all tonight.

After all, I was lucky; my home was only ten minutes away.

Others, who had traveled in from a wide hinterland, were not so lucky. A person who lives two or three hours away from a public hospital is hardly likely to leave a relative lying in a corridor in the dead of night, but I figured I might be able to sneak away for a few hours.

In recent years, Emergency Departments have been shut down in smaller hospitals in provincial towns such as Ennis and Roscommon. The result is that already overburdened EDs in major cities such as Cork, Limerick and Galway do not seem to be able to cope with the strain.

Resources are limited, beds are not available, more people are traveling further for emergency care, and now it’s just “normal” to leave them lying on trolleys for two or even three days at a time.

The number of nurses working in Irish hospitals has declined by 2,500 since 2007, with many now to be found working in the UK, Australia, or Canada, after being trained to a high level of expertise here in Ireland.

Sorry, the nurse told me, she did not have a clue.

Perhaps he would be seen by a doctor before dawn, but perhaps not. There were nine people ahead of him in the queue and it wasn’t looking good. So, she took my phone number and I decided to head for home. Three hours in a bed, a little sleep, and a shower, and I would have more energy for the coming day.

I returned at 7am to find him lying on a trolley just a few meters up the corridor from where I’d left him. Still no sign of a doctor and he had not slept under the constant bright light, but at least he was in a hospital and relatively comfortable after the shock of the fall.

He had no privacy in the middle of the corridor and it felt like some kind of a little victory when he was finally wheeled into a cubicle just after 8am.

Fourteen hours after his admission, he finally got to see a doctor. She was courteous, professional, and treated him with dignity and respect. It would be another five hours before he saw another doctor and someone came by to check up on the medicines he had been taking at home.

The second doctor was very helpful, organizing X-rays and a scan to verify there had been no lasting damage from the fall.

Little did I expect, however, that my elderly relative would go on to spend 48 hours in that ED, sharing a confined, bright space with young revelers and people with mental health issues in an atmosphere of constant light and noise.

Relatives of other patients helped me kill the time by swapping stories or sharing newspapers, but it was hard to believe that elderly Irish patients had to endure such hardship at such a vulnerable time in their lives.

Out of frustration, I sent out a tweet outlining how tiring and frustrating it was to have to spend 48 hours in the ED. There was distress and anguish etched on faces all around me and I was soon inundated with replies.

Doctors expressed their frustration that the system seems to be so broken all across the country and one woman told me that her elderly father died on a trolley in a corridor in ED, 36 hours after being admitted to her local hospital.

“If you treated an animal in the way the HSE (Health Service Executive) is treating patients you’d be up in court and rightly so,” she tweeted in frustration, four months on from her father’s death in a public hospital.

Others reminded me of a famous slogan from Enda Kenny, then leader of Fine Gael, ahead of the 2007 General Election.

“I’ll end the scandal of patients on trolleys,” said the Fine Gael election poster which appeared on billboards and newspaper pages all over Ireland.

The irony is not lost on people that the Fine Gael party have now been in power, with the support of smaller parties or independents, since 2011 and the waiting times in the Emergency Departments of Irish hospitals seem to be longer than ever.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) began collecting “trolleywatch” figures 12 years ago and they make for grim reading. They send people around our public hospitals early each morning to monitor the number of patients lying on trolleys.

Last week they revealed that there were more than 600 patients on trolleys at Cork University Hospital in the month of July, leading to huge concerns over what patients might have to face over the coming winter months.

There were more than 7,000 people on trolleys in public hospitals across Ireland last month, the most overcrowded July since records began and an increase of 11% on the corresponding figure for the same month last year.

The INMO have expressed concerns over the impact overcrowding may have on the safety of nurses and midwives as they carry out their work.

“Overcrowding is now a constant feature of our hospital system, even in summer,” said INMO General Secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha. “Low salaries for nurses and midwives mean that vacancies simply aren’t being taken up and health service capacity can’t grow.

“The hazardous working conditions for staff look set to worsen. The HSE is sleepwalking into yet another winter crisis.”

According to the INMO, there are at least 216 nurses needed in Emergency Departments across Ireland. The Irish economy might be booming again, but last week it felt as though Ireland had little regard for its most vulnerable citizens.

This is no country to get sick in right now.

Now, these radiations have a wavelength & frequency sequence, in the order I named them, that is their wavelength decreases and frequency increases as we go from Radio to Gamma Rays. This is important because with more frequency, comes more energy to the radiation. This results in us calling X-Rays & Gamma Rays ionising radiation because these are so high energy, they can strip atoms of their electrons and thus they cause harm to biological cells, causing mutations and cell deaths. UV is pretty high energy too and that is why Sunscreens are so popular and recommended when you are outside. All the others are called non-ionising radiation, because they don't ionise atoms and can't harm matter.

So, when you said 5G Radio Signal and Wi-Fi can harm us, I understood your lack of knowledge and awareness as these are the lowest energy radiation and can never harm human cells. If they could, then the visible light, with which we see, would be exponentially more dangerous. But it isn't, right? So, we know your fears are illogical. If you can provide a more compelling and detailed argument for your concerns, I can research more but this is basic physics and the premise of your concern would be a exception to the general rule of science.

Mercy killing is the topic of AN ACT OF MURDER (1948), a somber yet engrossing film with an excellent cast.

Fredric March plays Calvin Cooke, a by-the-book judge confronted with an agonizing dilemma when his beloved wife Cathy (Florence Eldridge, March's real wife) is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.

Medication is unable to control Cathy's unbearable pain, so Judge Cooke somewhat impulsively commits what he intends as an act of murder-suicide, driving his car off the road on a rainy night while Cathy is obliviously sleeping.

Cathy dies, but the judge survives, and when he's physically recovered he turns himself in on a murder charge. A dedicated defense attorney (Edmond O'Brien) dating the Cookes' daughter (Geraldine Brooks) is appointed by the judge (John McIntire) hearing the case to represent Judge Cooke.

An autopsy raises the question of whether the judge actually killed his wife after all...but even so, he meant to do it.

I had expected that the film would focus more on the courtroom drama aspect of the story and was a bit surprised that the majority of the film is domestic/medical drama, with the courtroom sequences a bit rushed, almost tacked on as an afterthought. This was especially disappointing given that it limited screen time for O'Brien and McIntire, a pair of really interesting actors. I would have preferred if the pathos-filled personal story were condensed and the legal and ethical debates took center stage; it remains a relevant topic decades later.

Judge Cooke's closing speech on the importance of seeing into men's hearts and intentions being as important as following the law is also an opinion ripe for deeper consideration than it receives here.

Another interesting aspect of the film, Brooks' frequently fraught relationship with her father, is also somewhat pushed to the side. Judge Cooke doesn't approve of his daughter's boyfriend and refuses to open up to her when dealing with his personal dilemmas before and after his wife's death. A little more depth and resolution would have been welcome here.

I'd been curious to see this one, especially given my liking for O'Brien, Brooks, and McIntire, and despite my reservations I'm glad I watched it. It was an interesting and well-acted film, though I can't say it will lend itself to repeat viewing given the difficulty of watching a terminally ill woman suffer.

An interesting aspect for me was that some of the medical aspects are unintentionally amusing -- or troubling -- to a modern viewer, such as the doctor (Stanley Ridges) lighting up a cigarette in the middle of conducting extensive medical tests looking for a potential brain tumor. Later he pushes a cigarette on the emotionally reeling Judge Cooke. Similar scenes appear in other movies but they never lose the capacity to make me shake my head in wonder.

The doctor cheerily reassures his patient she's fine, then has the x-rays copied and overnighted to three nationally known specialists; once the verdict is in from his fellow neurologists, the doctor conspires with the husband to keep the truth of her condition from his wife. The husband protests that she has a right to know and plan the remainder of her life, but the doctor orders the husband to lie and then makes sure he cooperates by calling the wife to tell her she's fine! (Eldridge's radiance immediately after this news is both hauntingly beautiful and crushing. It's a fine moment for the actress.) It's hard to imagine the lawsuits the doctor's behavior would engender in modern times.

The supporting cast also includes Will Wright as another judge who's a family friend. Also in the film are Don Beddoe, Clarence Muse, Ray Teal, and Virginia Brissac.

With this film I've seen all of the seven films Geraldine Brooks made from 1947 to 1949, a most enjoyable group which includes EMBRACEABLE YOU (1948) and THE RECKLESS MOMENT (1949). She was in a couple Italian films released in 1950 and after that mostly worked in television, an exception being STREET OF SINNERS (1957) with George Montgomery. In 1962 she reunited with Edmond O'Brien for an episode of his SAM BENEDICT TV series. Brooks was an interesting actress I wish had had a longer film career.

AN ACT OF MURDER was directed by Michael Gordon and filmed in black and white by Hal Mohr. The screenplay by Michael Blankford and Robert Thoeren was based on a novel by Ernst Lothar. The film runs 91 minutes.

AN ACT OF MURDER is available on DVD in the Universal Vault Series. The print is mostly fine although there were a few scenes with lines in the picture. The sound quality was good.

I had an interesting conversation recently concerning my article about two sisters and their difficulties over a lifetime of lost time abduction encounters.

The conversation was based on the fact that not only have I come to the conclusion that writing about real time abductions was a waste of my time and the Real-Time Abductees time too, but I explained that writing about this group of unusual people and their experiences did not seem to interest the public or any other group or researchers at all. The fact the real time abductees could have been a wealth of data on the subject of abduction and lost time did not seem to be of interest to anyone in any form.

I am sure that a great deal of it was due to the fact that my articles about their experiences were told as they related them, which was in a logical truthful fashion. My articles were not filled with movie script type detailed, colorful descriptions of amazing aliens and their crafts. I do not write horror or fantasy. I write what really goes on, which I feel is just too boring and black and white for the average paranormal reader.

Long ago the lines between good entertainment for fun and real research became so distorted in the subjects we consider "unknown" that truth, fiction, fraud and research became so convoluted that all real answers to real questions have been lost, Trying to work in this area, using fact or truth without the color, became impossible or was so confused that it is at the point of being quite impossible.

Real-time abductions are events that occur to people who are fully awake and alert who are going about the business of their normal daily routines and who are suddenly abducted against their will.

These people suffer lost time and then find they are returned often to a different place from where they were taken . They are very often ill, dazed and at times hurt. They can recall when the event starts, but have little memory of what happened to them before they find themselves awakening hours later.

Some of the abductees have flashed memories of what took place during their abductions. Some return with knowledge or skills or thoughts they did not have before they were taken. Many suffer these events more than once during their life. All are somehow changed during the experience.

During my years of writing about these fascinating people, I promised them that I would answer without embellishment any questions, giving the most truthful answers I could to the questions asked.

*******

The Real Time Abductees

It took courage for the abductees to allow me to write about them or to answer questions concerning their experiences. The fact that not one person or group or organization ever wanted any information concerning their ordeals with these strange abductions made these people recoil from reaching out, and closed the door at my attempts at finding answers.

Finally, after all of these years, we have had someone ask a few questions about their abduction events. After a conversation with the abductees, it was decided that I could answer the handful of questions before I end my adventure of writing about this group of people to whom I refer to as The Real Time Abductees.

Adding salt to the wound of rejection for the abductees is the fact that the questions were not even asked directly to me or them, but came by way of an email of a third party who was corresponding with the person who finally did ask a few questions about the abductees encounters.

I found the questions to be thoughtful and decided as my last article on the subject of Real-Time Abduction to answer these questions, I know that there is a wealth of data being lost with these people, however, I have tried my best to find an audience or place that could benefit and learn from them and have found only silence and disinterest in what they have to say or warn us about concerning their abduction encounters,

Below are the questions with the answers following each question:

Question: "What occurred during the abductions?"

Answer: Nothing during this abduction of the two sisters case as it was stopped ,however, during the battle to stop it both women were hurt as the article about the two sisters explains.

Other abductees do have flash memories of what took place including the recall of multiple beings surrounding the abductee or bright lights making it difficult to see what is going on around them.

The abductees I refer to as the Real Time Abductees have no clear memory of being examined or touched. All of the abductees agree that they have had their memory wiped clean of the events before they are returned. Some flashes of what took place do remain in a few of the abductees . Others feel their abductors wiped too much memory taking with it parts of their lifetime memories that they can no longer remember.

Question: "What are the lingering health problems?"

Answer: This is a very lengthy list that includes many different problems for different people. I will give the overall problems, which they all share.

The spine , neck and skeleton of the abductees all have been altered leaving them with issues from compression to actual breaks. Many have had large spurs grow in odd places that burrow into the surrounding muscles, leaving them in constant pain.

Almost all have had to seek long-term medical help to deal with some form of spinal and bone issues. It has been common for an abductee to be told that they show that bones they never broke now show clear signs upon being x-rayed of having been broken.

There are cases when a shoulder bone (or other large bone) shows that it was, without question, broken and has healed poorly. Spinal fractures also are commonly found.

One of the abductees, when they had X-rays taken for a different health issue, was asked when in the past they had had the accident when it was found that theypresented both a bad shoulder and broken back, which had healed.

Of course, the abductee had never had "an accident" or any broken bones that they knew of until X-rayed

This is a scenario that plays out often with abduction victims. All of the abductees suffer from a flu-like sickness, with a red, raised rashes on their backs or chests that last for about two weeks after an abduction. It can flare up any time during their lifetimea for a few years after an abduction,

All the abductees have problems with light and they cannot tolerate bright sun or bright lights of any kind, including fluorescent lighting. All of the abductees require very dark sunglasses, and sit in shaded areas as the bright sun both blinds them and causes their eyes to hurt.

Many of the abductees suffer from very large red rashes that come and go, which are uncontrollable and painful. One abductee has a growing reptile-like scale rash spreading across her body that does not respond to any treatment.

The abductees have issues that would be presented in those who have had problems with their adrenal , pituitary and thyroid functions.

This is just a partial list of the problems they deal with. On the other side of the coin, the abductees all have had their IQ increase and have been able to increase their skill sets with ease.

The strangest thing they all share in common and cannot explain is that they return with new knowledge about something tha they did not have before the abduction, or with thoughts or visions of what will happen in the future that always prove to be true.

Question: "What did the abductors look like?"

Answer: Since the abductee's memory is always wiped or cleaned before they are returned, it is very hard to answer this question. The main combined agreed-to description by the abductees that their abductors are built or shown in a human form with one head, two arms and two legs. Some feel they are hairless with light skin while others feel they are covered in some type of skin or suit.

They do not recall their faces or features. However, they do all agree that they have a badodor, similar to mold and sulfur.

Question: "What was inside the green light?"

Answer: Nothing, but a large sweeping ray of green light that runs from a very hot area that can turn extremely cold in a second. It does have a vibration or hum to it. It is part of a tool used to scoop up their victims.

Question: "Is there a merger between supernatural and extraterrestrial worlds, or is this a terrestrial demonic attack?"

Answer: There seem to be ways that we do not understand that dimensions we have no knowledge of can intermingle when they are needed. It seems clear in the two sisters' case that the energy of this woman's departed family members were able to manifest in order to protect the woman from her abductor.

No one on this planet understands how the interdimensional worlds work or how those who are part of them enter and exit the dimension that we live in.

In this case, we see that all the things that we do not understand come into focus as a crossing of dimensions, such as those that clearly took place in front of the family, as in the two sisters abduction case.

Obviously, it is a simple case of our not being able to understand the way the universe or how the multi-dimensions work or interact. The fact is that "they" do know how to manipulate and transport them (when needed)between dimensions.

The sisters did not feel this was a demonic issue, but one of her family warning the unknown creature or alien that it needs to stop.

The creature has not returned and, for now, all abductions seem to have ended for the two sisters family.

Time will tell the answers to all of these questions as eventually we will learn how all of this works and we will be able to understand and handle our human dimension with intelligence. For now, we as a species seem simply content with remaining in the dark on many things we do not understand and label "paranormal. " It is, of course, all science that we simply do not yet grasp.

We received a question last year that was left on my voice mail from a man that I will answer now, as well. The caller asked if any of the abductees were told to tell us anything by the aliens , for example:

Question: "Was the abductee asked any questions about being a human?"

I did not answer this question at the time It was left, as I had just finished and published an article on warnings given by the abductees.

All the abductees have returned with the impressions of both natural and man-made disasters and an immanent world war impressed upon them.

They were alsogiven warnings concerning "giving up our humanity" so easily to technology, which provides easy access to our control. I have written about all of those things repeatedly.

The other interesting question the man left on the voice mail was:

Question: "Have the aliens had ever asked any of their human captives any questions?"

I thought about this and remembered an older man (who had been taken many times during his life) telling me that he did have an encounter once with a very curious alien who did ask him via thought and images questions that he found very unusual.

The interview with this abductee stuck out in my mind and I was able to locate the notes that I took while talking with him. He was not comfortable with me writing his encounters and until now I had nowhere to write about the part of his interview that discussed the alien questions. The man told me the alien communicated by showing him visions or images or placed thoughts in his head.

The first thing the alien asked was by showing him images or visions of large groups of people eating. Eating around tables, at fast food restaurants and just about every scene you could image of people eating lots of food.

The next thing he was shown were images of people starving to death. All kinds of people from all over the world, many of them children. The images the abductee told me were heartbreaking and made him feel terrible when he viewed them.

The alien wanted to know:

"Why since we have so much food, some have it yet waste it and others die from not having it?"

The alien wanted to know why we do this? He even placed images of rows of farming and piles of freshly caught fish in the man's head. Again the alien asked him why do humans feed some too much and starve others? The abductee told me his mind went blank, as the only answer he had was that he did not know why we do this.

The older abductee was also shown an image of what looked like a science lab of some sort with a handful of people working in the lab, also in the manner of thoughts and images or visions presented to him by the alien was asked why we have the technology, but only a few humans are educated or advancing?

He was also shown a huge movie screen with what looked like thousands of people cheering at zombies or monsters on the movie screen. The alien did not understand why only a few are educated while the majority of the population does not advance, which keeps our planet at a slow growth rate when it comes to science or advancement. The old man knew his captor thought of us as very primitive and ignorant.

I know we think we are superior beings as we walk upon the earth with smartphones and techie gadgets hanging from our belts. The fact is that only a few of us invent anything to build and advance the planet. This seems is confusing to a being who obviously comes from a civilization far different and far more advanced than ours,

Obviously, where they come from everyone is educated and advances. Sad for the human race that we do not do the same.

The last questions the man was asked were very interesting to me and ones that really spoke to the fact that we are as strange to them as they are to us.

The alien asked the man why only two or even one human raise the children. He was shown a single mother and a family with four or five children sitting on a couch with their mother and father. The being that had abducted the old man wanted to know why only one or two adults raise the children.?

Obviously, the alien does not come from a male /female type of union like we do on earth, nor did he seem to understand the family unit as we know it. His confusion on this makes me believe his civilization does not form family units and must raise their young in groups with many adults involved in the care of their young,

The last question really gave me an idea of how our visitors view the human species. The alien asked the older man:

"Why we are self-killing?"

At first, the man thought he was asking about war, which we have as an ongoing constant on this planet. The alien stopped this thought in the man's head quickly and was able to communicate that they already knew we were an extremely violent species. The alien kept repeating "self-killing" ..."self-killing."

The abductee was then shown images of very overweight people eating large plates of food and a man smoking who was nearly invisible under a thick layer of smoke, as well as what looked like homeless people laying on a city street. He was also shown images that he did not understand, but he got the message:

"Why did humans not take care of their human bodies?"

The older abductee told me that he tried to answer the questions to the best of his ability, but could tell his captor remained "confused," and did not seem to understand what he was trying to convey to him.

The abductee mentioned a few times while telling me about this event that the alien completely lacked any signs of emotion or understanding emotion. He recoiled if the man cried or yelled, or if his fear got the better of him and he shook his fist in anger, or begged to be let go. The man told me that emotion seemed to confuse or even frighten and back off his captors.

I believe this lack of emotion on the alien's part is why the two sisters were able to escape, as well as other people, who also displayed outbreaks of emotion that forced their captors to backed off using the element of surprise by displaying something the aliens simply do not understand.

I was happy to answer these questions in this last article about the Real Time Abductees, but realize that the overall interest in the "reality" of the subject of real time abductions does not exist in the public mind, or considered much within the paranormal community. If it did, I am sure we would have had over the years of sharing the real time abductees experiences more then the handful of questions that I have answered in this article.

This will be the last article I write on abduction as I have other areas of the unknown that I want to explore, and I will be giving my time to that.

If I find things I think my readers will be interested in, I will continue to share them on my blog. For now remain aware of your surroundings as one day you may find you are the one, standing alone, in the dead of night and find you are face to face with a cold and emotionless strange being with a great curiosity as to who or what you are.

TANJUNG, Indonesia — The Indonesian island of Lombok was shaken by a third big earthquake in little more than a week Thursday as the official death toll from an earlier quake topped 300.

The strong aftershock, measured at magnitude 5.9 by the U.S. Geological Survey, caused panic, damage to buildings, landslides and injuries. It was centered in the northwest of the island and didn't have the potential to cause a tsunami, Indonesia's geological agency said.

Videos showed rubble strewn across streets and clouds of dust enveloping buildings. In northern Lombok, some people leaped from their vehicles on a traffic-jammed road while an elderly woman standing in the back of a pickup truck wailed "God is Great." An Associated Press reporter in the provincial capital Mataram saw people injured by the tremor and a hospital moved patients outside.

The aftershock had caused more "trauma," said national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.

Wiranto, Indonesia's top security minister, told reporters the death toll from Sunday's magnitude 7.0 quake had risen to 319. The announcement came after an inter-agency meeting was called to resolve wildly different figures from different agencies.

Grieving relatives were burying their dead and medics tended to people whose broken limbs hadn't yet been treated in the day since the quake. The Red Cross said it was focusing relief efforts on an estimated 20,000 people yet to get any assistance.

In Kopang Daya village in the hard-hit Tanjung district of north Lombok, a distraught family was burying their 13-year-old daughter who was struck by a collapsing wall and then trampled when the quake Sunday caused a stampede at her Islamic boarding school.

Villagers and relatives prayed outside a tent where the girl's body lay inside covered in a white cloth.

"She was praying when the earthquake happened," said her uncle Tarna, who gave a single name. "She was trying to get out, but she got hit by a wall and fell down. Children were running out from the building in panic and she was stepped on by her friends," he said.

Thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed in Sunday's quake and more than 150,000 people are homeless. The earlier earthquakes also left cracks in walls and roofs, making the weakened buildings susceptible to collapse.

"People are always saying they need water and tarps," said Indonesian Red Cross spokesman Arifin Hadi. He said the agency has sent 20 water trucks to five remote areas, including one village of about 1,200 households.

He also said they're continuing to look for people with untreated injuries.

In Kopang Daya, injured villagers got their first proper treatment Thursday after medics arrived with a portable X-ray and other supplies. They tended to an elderly woman with an injured face and hips who'd been knocked over by her grandson as they scrambled from their house.

"Her son managed to get out from the house when the earthquake hit but the grandmother and grandson were left behind," said a relative Nani Wijayanti. "The grandson tried to help the grandmother to get out but he pushed too hard," she said.

A July 29 quake on Lombok killed 16 people.

Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because of its location on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. In December 2004, a massive magnitude 9.1 earthquake off Sumatra triggered a tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries.

Environmentally friendly and cheap composite green cementitious materials have been prepared from carbide slag, fly ash, flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) gypsum, and granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) without using cement clinker. Orthogonal testing was used to investigate the effects of the raw materials on the amount of water required for reaching standard consistency and consistency, setting time, slump value, and strength of the produced materials after curing for 7 d and 28 d. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used for the analysis of the sample microstructure and hydration products as well as for the exploration of possible hydration mechanisms. We found that, among the utilised raw materials, the addition of FGD gypsum had the most significant effect on the setting time and amount of water required for reaching standard consistency and consistency, while the addition of GBFS deeply affected the slump value. The optimal activation results were obtained when the mass ratio of carbide slag : fly ash : GBFS : FGD gypsum was equal to 12.1 : 60.6 : 18.2 : 9.1.

Please note that the following percentages are the asset percentages of the total portfolio, not per account.

Taxable

8.51% USAA Virginia Bond Fund (USVAX), 0.58% expense If you are in 24% fed and 5.75% state, then I am on the fence on whether this is a good move or not. Up to you but I am not sure that the tax equivalent return is up to par with similar maturity bond funds that are more widely diversified.

8.54% Vanguard Int'l Growth Fund (VWIGX), 0.45% expense It appears you have chosen actively managed mutual funds in your taxable account. This is a personal decision and you will find the board obviously more strongly supports index funds. Be aware of the added expense ratio and the added tax impact associated with this decision.

5.62% Vanguard Selected Value (VASVX), 0.39% expense

HSA

0.12% Vanguard Materials Index Adm (VMIAX), 0.10% expense I am not personally a fan of a materials tilt, but I would much prefer this selection to a gold holding. I would be 100% VG Institutional Index at 0.02 ER.

19.48% Vanguard Small Cap Index Adm (VSMAX), 0.06% expense

17.82% MFS Global Equity R3 (MWEHX), 1.17% expense

I would reallocate away from the two MFS funds and into index funds due to the expense ratios. It is my strong opinion that few active funds will outperform enough to warrant a 1.17% ER. You have excellent Vanguard Index funds to choose from.

Miscellaneous

* I am single

* I rent

* I have a high annual medical expense ($5k - $6k total after insurance (out of pocket)) If you have other health insurance options (other than HDHP) I would carefully weigh the costs. HDHP +HSA may not provide you the most financial benefit.

Questions

I am relatively new to this process, and I am learning as I go! I really appreciate your time and insight here.

1. Overall, how does my portfolio look? Are there any glaring errors or mistakes? As above, I would focus more on index funds to lower expense ratio, but on the whole, not bad and you have excellent investment options.

2. Do my "desired allocations" make sense for my age (29)? What about international stocks? They seem reasonable to me.

3. Are some of my funds too expensive in terms of their expense ratios? Yes in my opinion.

4. Would you get rid of any of these funds? Would you replace them with anything in particular? Yes see above.

5. Is my portfolio too complex? Do you think it is?

6. Is my portfolio not diverse enough; is it too diverse? I would not say it is too diverse. Currently you have a very heavy growth equity tilt. This is less diverse than say, a combination of total market index funds.

7. Is my portfolio leaning too heavily in any direction? It leans heavily to growth equity. Is this your preference?

8. Are my funds located in the proper accounts in terms of tax efficiency? If you choose to use actively managed funds, if possible I would hold these in 401k or IRA to avoid increase taxable distribution that typically come from these. In other words, I would switch your taxable active fund holdings to low cost, low turnover index funds for increased tax efficiency.

9. Would a three-fund portfolio likely out-perform my current portfolio? Who knows? I don't. I can state that studies have shown that the majority of active mutual funds underperform their benchmarks (usually indices).

10. I have $5.5k pending investment in my Roth. I was considering putting that into a small-cap value index fund, and/or a REIT. I am waiting to hear the feedback I get here before I make a decision about that. Nothing wrong with either choice necessarily, but these choices seem inconsistently with the growth tilt of your portfolio. Why have you suggested these in particular? Are you hoping to change the tilt of your portfolio?

11. I am contributing 14% into traditional 401k, and 4% into Roth 401k (18% total). Does this make sense to do? The thought process behind this decision was to try to diversify tax strategy. I would likely lean more toward 100% traditional in your case, but I don't really have all the info. Tax diversification is probably not a terrible strategy though unless your traditional 401k account is already very large.

I had an interesting conversation recently concerning my article about two sisters and their difficulties over a lifetime of lost time abduction encounters.

The conversation was based on the fact that not only have I come to the conclusion that writing about real time abductions was a waste of my time and the Real-Time Abductees time too, but I explained that writing about this group of unusual people and their experiences did not seem to interest the public or any other group or researchers at all. The fact the real time abductees could have been a wealth of data on the subject of abduction and lost time did not seem to be of interest to anyone in any form.

I am sure that a great deal of it was due to the fact that my articles about their experiences were told as they related them, which was in a logical truthful fashion. My articles were not filled with movie script type detailed, colorful descriptions of amazing aliens and their crafts. I do not write horror or fantasy. I write what really goes on, which I feel is just too boring and black and white for the average paranormal reader.

Long ago the lines between good entertainment for fun and real research became so distorted in the subjects we consider "unknown" that truth, fiction, fraud and research became so convoluted that all real answers to real questions have been lost, Trying to work in this area, using fact or truth without the color, became impossible or was so confused that it is at the point of being quite impossible.

Real-time abductions are events that occur to people who are fully awake and alert who are going about the business of their normal daily routines and who are suddenly abducted against their will.

These people suffer lost time and then find they are returned often to a different place from where they were taken . They are very often ill, dazed and at times hurt. They can recall when the event starts, but have little memory of what happened to them before they find themselves awakening hours later.

Some of the abductees have flashed memories of what took place during their abductions. Some return with knowledge or skills or thoughts they did not have before they were taken. Many suffer these events more than once during their life. All are somehow changed during the experience.

During my years of writing about these fascinating people, I promised them that I would answer without embellishment any questions, giving the most truthful answers I could to the questions asked.

*******

The Real Time Abductees

It took courage for the abductees to allow me to write about them or to answer questions concerning their experiences. The fact that not one person or group or organization ever wanted any information concerning their ordeals with these strange abductions made these people recoil from reaching out, and closed the door at my attempts at finding answers.

Finally, after all of these years, we have had someone ask a few questions about their abduction events. After a conversation with the abductees, it was decided that I could answer the handful of questions before I end my adventure of writing about this group of people to whom I refer to as The Real Time Abductees.

Adding salt to the wound of rejection for the abductees is the fact that the questions were not even asked directly to me or them, but came by way of an email of a third party who was corresponding with the person who finally did ask a few questions about the abductees encounters.

I found the questions to be thoughtful and decided as my last article on the subject of Real-Time Abduction to answer these questions, I know that there is a wealth of data being lost with these people, however, I have tried my best to find an audience or place that could benefit and learn from them and have found only silence and disinterest in what they have to say or warn us about concerning their abduction encounters,

Below are the questions with the answers following each question:

Question: "What occurred during the abductions?"

Answer: Nothing during this abduction of the two sisters case as it was stopped ,however, during the battle to stop it both women were hurt as the article about the two sisters explains.

Other abductees do have flash memories of what took place including the recall of multiple beings surrounding the abductee or bright lights making it difficult to see what is going on around them.

The abductees I refer to as the Real Time Abductees have no clear memory of being examined or touched. All of the abductees agree that they have had their memory wiped clean of the events before they are returned. Some flashes of what took place do remain in a few of the abductees . Others feel their abductors wiped too much memory taking with it parts of their lifetime memories that they can no longer remember.

Question: "What are the lingering health problems?"

Answer: This is a very lengthy list that includes many different problems for different people. I will give the overall problems, which they all share.

The spine , neck and skeleton of the abductees all have been altered leaving them with issues from compression to actual breaks. Many have had large spurs grow in odd places that burrow into the surrounding muscles, leaving them in constant pain.

Almost all have had to seek long-term medical help to deal with some form of spinal and bone issues. It has been common for an abductee to be told that they show that bones they never broke now show clear signs upon being x-rayed of having been broken.

There are cases when a shoulder bone (or other large bone) shows that it was, without question, broken and has healed poorly. Spinal fractures also are commonly found.

One of the abductees, when they had X-rays taken for a different health issue, was asked when in the past they had had the accident when it was found that theypresented both a bad shoulder and broken back, which had healed.

Of course, the abductee had never had "an accident" or any broken bones that they knew of until X-rayed

This is a scenario that plays out often with abduction victims. All of the abductees suffer from a flu-like sickness, with a red, raised rashes on their backs or chests that last for about two weeks after an abduction. It can flare up any time during their lifetimea for a few years after an abduction,

All the abductees have problems with light and they cannot tolerate bright sun or bright lights of any kind, including fluorescent lighting. All of the abductees require very dark sunglasses, and sit in shaded areas as the bright sun both blinds them and causes their eyes to hurt.

Many of the abductees suffer from very large red rashes that come and go, which are uncontrollable and painful. One abductee has a growing reptile-like scale rash spreading across her body that does not respond to any treatment.

The abductees have issues that would be presented in those who have had problems with their adrenal , pituitary and thyroid functions.

This is just a partial list of the problems they deal with. On the other side of the coin, the abductees all have had their IQ increase and have been able to increase their skill sets with ease.

The strangest thing they all share in common and cannot explain is that they return with new knowledge about something tha they did not have before the abduction, or with thoughts or visions of what will happen in the future that always prove to be true.

Question: "What did the abductors look like?"

Answer: Since the abductee's memory is always wiped or cleaned before they are returned, it is very hard to answer this question. The main combined agreed-to description by the abductees that their abductors are built or shown in a human form with one head, two arms and two legs. Some feel they are hairless with light skin while others feel they are covered in some type of skin or suit.

They do not recall their faces or features. However, they do all agree that they have a badodor, similar to mold and sulfur.

Question: "What was inside the green light?"

Answer: Nothing, but a large sweeping ray of green light that runs from a very hot area that can turn extremely cold in a second. It does have a vibration or hum to it. It is part of a tool used to scoop up their victims.

Question: "Is there a merger between supernatural and extraterrestrial worlds, or is this a terrestrial demonic attack?"

Answer: There seem to be ways that we do not understand that dimensions we have no knowledge of can intermingle when they are needed. It seems clear in the two sisters' case that the energy of this woman's departed family members were able to manifest in order to protect the woman from her abductor.

No one on this planet understands how the interdimensional worlds work or how those who are part of them enter and exit the dimension that we live in.

In this case, we see that all the things that we do not understand come into focus as a crossing of dimensions, such as those that clearly took place in front of the family, as in the two sisters abduction case.

Obviously, it is a simple case of our not being able to understand the way the universe or how the multi-dimensions work or interact. The fact is that "they" do know how to manipulate and transport them (when needed)between dimensions.

The sisters did not feel this was a demonic issue, but one of her family warning the unknown creature or alien that it needs to stop.

The creature has not returned and, for now, all abductions seem to have ended for the two sisters family.

Time will tell the answers to all of these questions as eventually we will learn how all of this works and we will be able to understand and handle our human dimension with intelligence. For now, we as a species seem simply content with remaining in the dark on many things we do not understand and label "paranormal. " It is, of course, all science that we simply do not yet grasp.

We received a question last year that was left on my voice mail from a man that I will answer now, as well. The caller asked if any of the abductees were told to tell us anything by the aliens , for example:

Question: "Was the abductee asked any questions about being a human?"

I did not answer this question at the time It was left, as I had just finished and published an article on warnings given by the abductees.

All the abductees have returned with the impressions of both natural and man-made disasters and an immanent world war impressed upon them.

They were alsogiven warnings concerning "giving up our humanity" so easily to technology, which provides easy access to our control. I have written about all of those things repeatedly.

The other interesting question the man left on the voice mail was:

Question: "Have the aliens had ever asked any of their human captives any questions?"

I thought about this and remembered an older man (who had been taken many times during his life) telling me that he did have an encounter once with a very curious alien who did ask him via thought and images questions that he found very unusual.

The interview with this abductee stuck out in my mind and I was able to locate the notes that I took while talking with him. He was not comfortable with me writing his encounters and until now I had nowhere to write about the part of his interview that discussed the alien questions. The man told me the alien communicated by showing him visions or images or placed thoughts in his head.

The first thing the alien asked was by showing him images or visions of large groups of people eating. Eating around tables, at fast food restaurants and just about every scene you could image of people eating lots of food.

The next thing he was shown were images of people starving to death. All kinds of people from all over the world, many of them children. The images the abductee told me were heartbreaking and made him feel terrible when he viewed them.

The alien wanted to know:

"Why since we have so much food, some have it yet waste it and others die from not having it?"

The alien wanted to know why we do this? He even placed images of rows of farming and piles of freshly caught fish in the man's head. Again the alien asked him why do humans feed some too much and starve others? The abductee told me his mind went blank, as the only answer he had was that he did not know why we do this.

The older abductee was also shown an image of what looked like a science lab of some sort with a handful of people working in the lab, also in the manner of thoughts and images or visions presented to him by the alien was asked why we have the technology, but only a few humans are educated or advancing?

He was also shown a huge movie screen with what looked like thousands of people cheering at zombies or monsters on the movie screen. The alien did not understand why only a few are educated while the majority of the population does not advance, which keeps our planet at a slow growth rate when it comes to science or advancement. The old man knew his captor thought of us as very primitive and ignorant.

I know we think we are superior beings as we walk upon the earth with smartphones and techie gadgets hanging from our belts. The fact is that only a few of us invent anything to build and advance the planet. This seems is confusing to a being who obviously comes from a civilization far different and far more advanced than ours,

Obviously, where they come from everyone is educated and advances. Sad for the human race that we do not do the same.

The last questions the man was asked were very interesting to me and ones that really spoke to the fact that we are as strange to them as they are to us.

The alien asked the man why only two or even one human raise the children. He was shown a single mother and a family with four or five children sitting on a couch with their mother and father. The being that had abducted the old man wanted to know why only one or two adults raise the children.?

Obviously, the alien does not come from a male /female type of union like we do on earth, nor did he seem to understand the family unit as we know it. His confusion on this makes me believe his civilization does not form family units and must raise their young in groups with many adults involved in the care of their young,

The last question really gave me an idea of how our visitors view the human species. The alien asked the older man:

"Why we are self-killing?"

At first, the man thought he was asking about war, which we have as an ongoing constant on this planet. The alien stopped this thought in the man's head quickly and was able to communicate that they already knew we were an extremely violent species. The alien kept repeating "self-killing" ..."self-killing."

The abductee was then shown images of very overweight people eating large plates of food and a man smoking who was nearly invisible under a thick layer of smoke, as well as what looked like homeless people laying on a city street. He was also shown images that he did not understand, but he got the message:

"Why did humans not take care of their human bodies?"

The older abductee told me that he tried to answer the questions to the best of his ability, but could tell his captor remained "confused," and did not seem to understand what he was trying to convey to him.

The abductee mentioned a few times while telling me about this event that the alien completely lacked any signs of emotion or understanding emotion. He recoiled if the man cried or yelled, or if his fear got the better of him and he shook his fist in anger, or begged to be let go. The man told me that emotion seemed to confuse or even frighten and back off his captors.

I believe this lack of emotion on the alien's part is why the two sisters were able to escape, as well as other people, who also displayed outbreaks of emotion that forced their captors to backed off using the element of surprise by displaying something the aliens simply do not understand.

I was happy to answer these questions in this last article about the Real Time Abductees, but realize that the overall interest in the "reality" of the subject of real time abductions does not exist in the public mind, or considered much within the paranormal community. If it did, I am sure we would have had over the years of sharing the real time abductees experiences more then the handful of questions that I have answered in this article.

This will be the last article I write on abduction as I have other areas of the unknown that I want to explore, and I will be giving my time to that.

If I find things I think my readers will be interested in, I will continue to share them on my blog. For now remain aware of your surroundings as one day you may find you are the one, standing alone, in the dead of night and find you are face to face with a cold and emotionless strange being with a great curiosity as to who or what you are.

Employees at Berlin’s Schonefeld Airport were left abuzz on Tuesday after a passenger’s vibrator and other sex toys, were mistaken for a bomb, causing the terminal to be closed, CNN reports. During a routine baggage check, workers discovered “suspicious content in a luggage piece” in one of the X-rays, German police said, according to CNN. […]

A Berlin airport terminal was shut down after security workers got bad vibes from suspicious devices picked up on X-ray – but a red-faced passenger finally revealed them to be sex toys. The screeners at Schönefeld Airport spotted “suspicious content in a luggage piece” on Tuesday, according to German authorities, CNN reported. The airport’s D...

*edit*
I just confirmed that 2.79 already allows you to "restrict viewport selection" in the outliner for empty objects set to display an image, and also to enable "X-Ray" display mode for them. The difference is that dragging an image to the 3D view in 2.79 creates an old-style background image, where it creates an empty with an image in 2.8.
Unlike Kristy, I'm not convinced that having the empties remain visible in non-ortho views is a good thing. However, it looks like it is possible to set up a driver on the image's "restrict viewport visibility" outliner setting... if the global camera angle could be used to drive the image's visibility, that would make it possible to hide the image at non-ortho viewing angles. (right now, the global camera can't be selected as a driver object, because it's not an object, but maybe there's a way to do it with Python?)

Two things that didn't come up in the video:
-Is it possible to set these image-bearing empty objects to be non-selectable in the outliner, so that we don't accidentally select them while we're working on our meshes?
-is it possible to set the visibility of the images to x-ray, so they show through other geometry?
If the answers to those questions are both "yes," I'm having trouble thinking of any reason why the old system is inherently better than the new system. True, it takes a few extra clicks to set up images for front, side and top views, but you usually set up reference images once when you start working on a project and don't touch them again until you set up the next project; it's not like those extra clicks add up in any meaningful way.
Maybe some kind of macro or script could be implemented to quickly generate up to six empties from appropriately-named image files (like "reference_front.png", "image_left.jpg" or "blueprint_bottom.exr"), automatically disable selectability on the created objects, and set their alpha to 0.5 automatically? That would save us some time, at least...
is there some key feature of the old background image system that I'm forgetting?

This image shows data from a massive observing campaign that includes NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. These Chandra data have provided strong evidence for the existence of so-called intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). Combined with a separate study also using Chandra data, these results may allow astronomers to better understand how the very largest black holes in the early Universe formed, as described in our latest press release.

The COSMOS ("cosmic evolution survey") Legacy Survey has assembled data from some of the world's most powerful telescopes spanning the electromagnetic spectrum. This image contains Chandra data from this survey, equivalent to about 4.6 million seconds of observing time. The colors in this image represent different levels of X-ray energy detected by Chandra. Here the lowest-energy X-rays are red, the medium band is green, and the highest-energy X-rays observed by Chandra are blue. Most of the colored dots in this image are black holes. Data from the Spitzer Space Telescope are shown in grey. The inset shows an artist's impression of a growing black hole in the center of a galaxy. A disk of material surrounding the black hole and a jet of outflowing material are also depicted.

Two new separate studies using the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy survey data and other Chandra data have independently collected samples of IMBHs, an elusive category of black holes in between stellar mass black holes and the supermassive black holes found in the central regions of massive galaxies.

One team of researchers identified 40 growing black holes in dwarf galaxies. Twelve of them are located at distances more than five billion light years from Earth and the most distant is 10.9 billion light years away, the most distant growing black hole in a dwarf galaxy ever seen. Most of these sources are likely IMBHs with masses that are about 10,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun.

A second team found a separate, important sample of possible IMBHs in galaxies that are closer to Earth. In this sample, the most distant IMBH candidate is about 2.8 billion light years from Earth and about 90% of the IMBH candidates they discovered are no more than 1.3 billion light years away.

They detected 305 galaxies in their survey with black hole masses less than 300,000 solar masses. Observations with Chandra and with ESA's XMM-Newton of a small part of this sample show that about half of the 305 IMBH candidates are likely to be valid IMBHs. The masses for the ten sources detected with X-ray observations were determined to be between 40,000 and 300,000 times the mass of the Sun.

IMBHs may be able to explain how the very biggest black holes, the supermassive ones, were able to form so quickly after the Big Bang. One leading explanation is that supermassive black holes grow over time from smaller black holes "seeds" containing about a hundred times the Sun's mass. Some of these seeds should merge to form IMBHs. Another explanation is that they form very quickly from the collapse of a giant cloud of gas with a mass equal to hundreds of thousands of times that of the Sun. There is yet to be a consensus among astronomers on the role IMBHs may play.

A paper describing the COSMOS-Legacy result by Mar Mezcua (Institute for Space Sciences, Spain) and colleagues was published in the August issue of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and is available online. The paper by Igor Chilingarian (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) on the closer IMBH sample is being published in the August 10th issue of The Astrophysical Journal and is available online.

One of the Real Time Abductees I have been writing about requested I take some time to write about the life that follows a person who has without choice endured a life time of lost time events resulting in an aftermath of life changes an abductee is forced to deal with without choice .

I think a good place to begin is with the understanding that no one I have ever interviewed about lost time events or abduction have wanted or gone about any action that would bring them in to the situation of being taken. The people I have interviewed have all been taken or more precisely kidnapped against their will by unknowns or other life forms while the abductee was busy going about the normal routines of their day to day lives. Usually they would be returned hours later with little or no memory of where they had been taken or what had been done to them. Many times they would be returned to places they have never been before and have no idea where they were.

I find the fact the people are taken without permission and the lack of concern by society concerning this act of kidnapping a sad fact concerning how the human community behaves towards criminal acts on fellow humans. After enduring a harsh abduction abductees are treated with a dismissive hostility delivering another abusive blow by their fellow humans. This is a strong statement on how ignorant we are about things we do not understand.

If something is unknown in our society it is taboo. If in the past we always went about change or unknowns in this manner we would all still be sitting in a cave. The fact we consider abduction and unknown crafts in this manner is not a plus for our species. The fact is as a group we abuse those who are suffering from these unwilling kidnappings with such malice is truly a fact we all need to think about.

The first thing the people who have lived abduction experiences want to tell society is that they are making a huge mistake in forsaking the people who are enduring these acts of strange abduction by leaving the door fully open for the beings taking innocent people to continue doing it. If we took an investigative approach to these events we may eventually be able to find out who is taking our fellow humans and why. Most of all we would be able to stop it which would be best for all concerned. After all you must understand it is only time before you or someone close to you is the next to find they are the ones looking in to the cold dead eyes of those who take and abuse us at will. The longer it goes on without regard for those it is happening to and without any effort by the human race to stop it- the more people it will be taken.

I have written in length about my interviews with a group of people I call the Real Time Abductees. I call them this as they are all everyday people who while going about the everyday business of their normal life routine suddenly had their world interrupted by being taken against their will , experiencing hours of lost time before being returned like a bag of old trash. Many times they would find they would awaken sick, alone and miles away from where they were when their ordeal started. These events are extremely frightening for the people who are forced to deal with them. The first thing most abductees will tell you is that the fear that over takes them when they realize they are going to be taken is like no other fear they have known. One abductee told me she was sure her heart was going to stop beating as the fear that gripped her was unlike anything she ever encountered before. This fear is something that those who are taken deal with each time they are taken.

The next thing that society needs to understand is how these incidents affect the people who have been taken.

All the Real Time Abductees I have interviewed suffer from physical problems that occurred after years of repeated abductions. The physical harm is a bit different for each person but each one of them suffers from some kind of lasting long term harm caused by what takes place during their abductions.

I decided the best way to present the physical aftermath of abduction would be to describe the lifelong physical effects of one abductee starting when she was a child.

This abductee can remember strange events happening in her life beginning at about age 4. She started feeling the effect of her odd happenings at age 10 when she started a lifelong agony of severe pain in her legs. She would cry at night from the stabbing pain that filled her legs complaining to her parents about the pain but sadly her family simply ignored it and gave her an aspirin, soaked her in a hot bath and sent her to bed. This went on until she went through puberty. At that point her abductions increased and so did the physical aftermath,

As a young woman her incidents of being taken increased as did her physical reaction to them. She would become ill with what appeared to be a bad stomach flu that included throwing up, fever and severe body aches and an odd rash for about a week after each event. As she entered adulthood she would develop rashes all the time that would cover her legs and chest that would last anywhere from a few weeks up to a few months. The abductee would go to the doctor but would never talk about her experiences with lost time or strange crafts as she feared they would think she was insane and hospitalize her. Her family knew she was enduring these awful events as they were witness to a few of her abductions and did not know where to go for help. Earlier in her life they did try to go to the authorities for help but were ridiculed and chastised that they quickly learned they were on their own and their only choice was to try to protect her to the best of their ability. The protection was from not only the invaders who were taking her but those who would abuse her a second time when they reported the incidents.

As she aged the abductee realized that her ability to learn new things increased at an incredible speed. She would read a book a day in order to obtain the information she needed to become successful in her career. She went to college late in life graduating in half the time it normally takes to obtain a four year degree. She found her work comforting and threw herself in to it becoming successful quickly. She used her success to build a life that protected her from the horror of abductions and was able to slow the events until she finally stopped them.

Unfortunately for the abductee the damage to her body had already been done. She suffered enormous bone and joint pain to the point she was not able to walk and now needed to spend many days in a wheel chair. Once again she reached out for help to the medical community to see if they could provide a solution to her on going bone pain. The doctors did a full examination of the abductee returning with a list of bizarre findings they could not explain. They found that her liver, pancreas and kidneys were not functioning correctly. She had strange rashes they could not explain or come up with a cure for all over her body. She could not tolerate the sun which developed over her life time. Once the abductee was once a beach lover who spent hours swimming and playing on the sand. Now she could not stand but a few minutes outside. The X-rays showed that her bones in her joints were in perfect shape. However her bones did have a severe arthritis type of disintegration with abnormal growths which had developed in the middle of her bones nowhere near the joint areas.. The doctors had not seen this before and could not explain it. She could not tolerate eating a great many foods and her diet was becoming more confined to only a few selections as she aged. Her life was painful and difficult and there was no answer or help at all for her.

The abductee had an accident once when she was younger. Her leg bone was involved and the doctors told her that they were shocked to find her bones were purple in color unlike any others they had come across. During her unusual life the abductee continued to become stranger in her views about the world and her views of who took her and why. She would constantly warn people about the dangers of our new technology as she firmly believes it is a plot of those who visit this planet to control the population. She thinks society is being brain washed and controlled by the very gadgets we now have become addicted to. She feels that the more time you spend with your cell phone or hand held computers and games the more likely you are of being controlled by those who can easily use out technology to influence and control you without ever needing to go near you. She has been warning me for years to write about this subject. I found a great deal of negative feedback when I tried to approach this subject in the past however I promised I would try to convey it again in this article. It is up to the reader to consider her warnings or simply brush them off and throw caution to the wind..

She strongly suggests you all turn off your connection to these dangerous gadgets and learn to reach out with your humanity to mankind on a one on one basis before you all become robotic type beings controlled by creatures you should not trust. She believes it is only a matter of time before you all lose your ability to have human relationships and communication. Stop tweeting and texting and emailing and start spending real time with real people face to face using your own mind to develop your own ideas and thinking before it is all taken away from you as you sink in to the world of controlled machines following the will of what is being downloaded in to your heads by your gadgets and computer driven life style. Stop being a robot and start fighting to save your humanity.

I tried to have this conversation with a few young people in my own life and was shocked at how aggressive and defensive they became when I suggested they need to stop their addiction to these new technologies. I could not get over how quickly they turned nasty and hostile towards me when I gave my view on their addiction and suggestion they spend more time face to face out in the world with real people and shut off their connection to what seems to be a dangerous grid. I realized the abductee was right and I now fear this new techie society is going to take us to a place we will not be able to return from. . I fear it and know in my heart she is right about it.

This abductee is fighting daily now to stay alive as her body continues to fail and fall apart around her. She is a very smart lady with different and clear thinking on many things we consider unknown but extremely reluctant to have anything to do with reaching out or commenting on them due to our handling of the subjects considered paranormal. She also laughs as the very meaning of the word paranormal is:” Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation” . Paranormal things are the subjects our science does not yet understand. It is what we call the subjects we are still completely ignorant about. They are also the subjects older and more advanced civilizations have conquered. I wonder what they think about how we stop our own kind from advancing by way of our Dark Age view of things we do not yet understand.

She is a senior citizen now and spends a great deal of what time she has left doing things she enjoys and with her family and those she loves. Sadly she also spends a great deal of time dealing with all the harsh health issues she was left with after a life time of abduction events. The abductee told me that a doctor who once helped her told her that her body seemed to be acting as if her adrenal system had been drained. She often wonders if that is exactly what they do to the people they kidnap all over the world. We may be a farm for substances they can no longer make or perhaps need for purposes we are not yet able to understand. She remains alone with only her family to deal with the aftermath of her physical problems and tries hard to be happy with what days are left in her life.

She told me she knows that as a society we are far from understanding the truth of what is out there. She told me she feels we are our own worst enemy when it comes to intelligent growth. She thinks we are far more backward then we should be and lacking in knowledge of math and science in a way that is sad and dangerous.

The abductee also told me she does not care any longer about trying to share her life experiences with others as she did try many times over her life only to be rejected or attacked again by her own kind for trying to educate them on what happens to all the millions of people all over the world who are taken. She told me she is going to her maker knowing the truth and really does not care if anyone else believes her. She knows the truth and does not feel it her job to convince you about any subject. She told me many will die without knowing the truth of their own reality and others, well, one day when they find they are all alone -they may find out by being the ones looking in to the eyes of something that will nearly frighten them to death. I can only agree with her words.
